Never heared of M....? and no we havent about Cinnimon

Bit confused over insulin and pcos. I dont seem to have either.. ive always been tested for diabetes and never diagnosed with it, re: pcos i dont think i have it? Can never be sure tho.. but i do ovulate semi regually my cycles are 30-34 days long, they have only recently shortened due to what i think is weight loss

You are very likely to have tendencies towards PCOS and definitely are insulin resistant and for both reasons you need to be on the alternate diet and make the changes I describe above.

I suggest trying this supplement or a similar product containing myoinositol. https://www.pregnitude.com/ 2 sachets from CD 1-ovulation, 1 sachet from ovulation till arrival of your period, and whenever you get BFP please gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then drop it.

Cinnamon, please eat 1/2 teaspoon (this is a quite small amount, don't exceed this) daily stirred into foods or drinks (does not need to be all at once, just this much per day) of Ceylon cinnamon (ONLY use ceylon, no other kinds. you may have to buy this from a health food store) Do the 1/2 teaspoon from CD 1- ovulation, 1/4 teaspoon from ovulation to your period arriving, wean off to dietary amounts at BFP. If you notice any bleeding, bruising, or extra heavy periods developing please cut this back by half, and if it continues, wean off it totally. Don't ever stop cinnamon in particular without weaning off it (dietary amounts of course are fine)

Please note, anyone else reading this, myoinositol and cinnamon are not for everyone and are really only for maybe 5% of all swayers.

Also. So i understand.. if out of two cheese on toast is "better" then toast and butter? For sway/conception?
I understand yoghurt and fruit is no1 just want some backup breakfasts as well

yes, cheese on toast (or even just cheese! I often eat just cheese and coffee or tea for breakfast) is better than toast and butter since the protein in the cheese will mitigate sharp rises in your blood sugar.

If your hubby can't do every other day, that's fine. We often have blue swayers (who do not believe in Shettles timing, that is) have regular unprotected sex every 2-4 days starting as far in advance of sway as possible. This is also what many of us who have lots of boys do as a matter of course - unprotected sex when not fertile, using birth control or pullout around O when we aren't trying to conceive, when we are TTC we just BD thru O.

Regular exposure to the hormones in your hubby's semen may make you more boy-friendly. It may also make him make larger batches of sperm (which sway blue). So if you can let go of Shettles, it may really help up your chances of a boy.

Thanks atomic - I’m defo not a shettles advocat! Number 2 girly was a failed shettles (that now I obviously wouldn’t change for the world) and the more I learn the more I just don’t buy his timing methods. I did however ask a couple of questions about this on my own thread that hopefully you can help me with.

When I said it’s hardcore - I didn’t mean for hubby (he’ll be in his element!) I meant for me [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Thanks for all your help x

Oh gosh no kidding, right????

Hi atomic is myionistol (cant spell) basically B8 / Ionitol and that as a supplement would be ok? This helps achieve better egg quality? Why does this work more favourable to coq10?

Myoinositol is a better form of inositol for our purposes.

It helps lower your blood sugar and thus in turn help make healthier eggs. It can help improve your insulin response and will over the course of time make it easier for your body to take weight off and to keep blood sugar in normal range.

you can also still take coq10 if you'd like. I have not found coq10 to be very helpful at all for egg quality even though I do have people use it. Myoinositol is better proven and works more effectively for improving insulin response.

hi atomic, i have started taking the my-ionistol sorry i cant spell. i am taking equivalent of 1000mg a day. i hope this is correct, it says i should take double that. im inclined not to for now as i dont think i have pcos and my cycles are very regular especially at the moment and so i dont want to mess them about too much, i am however unsure on my egg quality so i am taking purely for that really
